In al most all parts of the country, let any storekeeper proclaim that he has, or is iiaely to have, a vacancy, and he is forth with overrun with applications. We know of young men working - for from two hundred to three hundred dollars per annum, and boarding themselves, who can command, as mechanics, three times that sum. Why is it that good mechanics of almost every kind are so scarce, and are commanding their own price,, wh'le so many young men are turning their backs upon their fathers' calling, amd lying in wait for opportuni ties to measure calico between dingy walls, fourteen boars a day, for a mere pittance?

I have also operated a dairy far some time but I can't distin guish the differenc between a cow and a steer and I had to give that up. The balance of my crop consists of chintz bugs, grasshoppers and jack rabbits. Ex. Hal a stranger dropped down on Main street at eight o'clock, Saturday night, ther is no doubt he would have thought the Jap war was on in full force or that a band.of Indians had broken loose from the wilds. It was the football rally given to arouse enthusiasm in tbe Whitworth OAC game, and Main street was a mass of screaming, noisy, good natured hu manity, probaSly upwards ot a thousand students and townspeople taking part in the demonstration. Everyone who could get one had a horn or a magaphone and the din cannot be described. Later a huge bonfire was bnilt on the campus, where a great mass of material bad been accumulated for the purpose, and as tbe flames leaped heavenward and (he spirits of the crowd increased, there were speeches by Profs. Horner, Cordley, aud Gardner, Coach Norcross, fondergras", Schroeder, and the coach and captain of the Whitworth team, college songs, yells aud other noisy Demonstrations of de light. It was a great rally and awaken ed mu:h interest. Wanted: To purchase from the breeders Cotswcld or Lincoln sheep. Call me on Independent phone No. 561 or No. 284. Wm. H.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary dis ease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomei is so gener ally known and has made so many cures in Corvallis and other towns. Until comparatively recent times a- tarrh was thought to be a blood disease and stomach dosing the only treatment. Modern science finally disproved this idea of the cause of catarrh, and found that it was a germ disease and, after many ex. periments, the remedy was decided to be Hvomei. Hyomei medicates the air you breathe ; jt kills the catarrhal germs; it keals the smarting and raw membranes of the passages in the nose and throat; it curs all catarrhal troubles. As there is life and health in tbe air ia the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing ' bal sams, so there is life and health in breath ing Hyomei. There is no need of suffer ing from catarrh if the simple and natural treatment of Hyomei is used. So sure is this prescription to sure even the worst cases of catarrh, that Graham & Walls sell it under an absolute guaran tee to refund the money 'f it does not V all that is claimed for it.
